So do I Live or Die?

Name: Becky
How did you find out about the community? If it's through an LJ user, please tell us who it is: I saw a stamp on

tasmin_dvelnahr info page after we friended eachother. I knew she was a massive ASoIaF fan so I thought this must be a great stamping community.
Age: 23
Location: Texas/London (depending on the time of year and a lot of luck)
Occupation: Actor

All About You

1. Describe your ideal house/home. Please go into as much detail as possible, and be sure to include your ideal geographical location in the description!. I'm torn, I'm a Texas girl. I like beaches and a lot of heat but I also have spent enough time in London to be in love with the city. My ideal location would be a garden flat on the Thames. Maybe in the Docklands, more likely in Kensington/Chelsea where I spend most of my time. I like the water, I grew up fishing on the gulf, sunning on the beach or by the pool and drinking ice-tea.

The flat would be a light, airy place with lots of books and (of course) any of Van Gogh's orange paintings. The wheat fields, the sunflowers ect. I'm obsessed with them. Big windows so I could see the river, with fresh flowers in the living room. Probably all orange and yellow gerbers and such. A big fireplace with a mirror above, maybe even a little of a dock outside the main window. Walking distance from a Tesco/Waitrose, a gym and, of course, the tube line.

2. Imagine you’re given the classic opportunity: a genie granting you three wishes. What would you wish for? Please be as elaborate as you can. Wishing for more wishes is not permitted! A. I'd wish for an agent who could get me up for a better quality of work. As an actor you can be so limited not by your talent, but how known/good your agent is. I'd wish for one who actually knew my name when I walked into the office, knew me personally and could put me up for real projects. Main networks, the National ect.

B. To never lack for money. That would allow me to do what I want to do. To travel, to take acting jobs without the worry if the paycheck would cover my basic needs. I be able to buy why I wanted, when I wanted. (yes, shallow I know but as I said before, I like nice things) Really money would give me freedom to live how I wanted.

C. World Peace? I don't know. This one would probably be stupid like I could tan without taking skin damage, or that I could belt/sing like Lea Michelle. I have no idea. Maybe make my shoulders smaller and my boobs a little bigger. As I said, something random and stupid. I can be pretty bouncy and random sometimes.

3. In your life so far, what accomplishment are you the most proud of? Why? You can list more than one if you have trouble deciding. ;) I spent some time at LAMDA, one of the top three Drama schools in the world. I didn't get into the program that I wanted last year but I was still offered a different one. They have less than 150 students at a time and for a period I was one of them. I was also a final candidate again this year for the elite upper acting program. Out of 5,000 applicants I was in the top 175, they only took 20 but I am still proud I made the final round again this year even if I don't get to go back.

4. Which of the following is most important to you: Love, Money, Knowledge, Family, Friendship, Adventure, or Pleasure? Which is the least important to you? Please explain why for each choice. I'd have to say Friendship is the most important because having friends makes me happy, and if Happiness had been a choice I would have chosen that one.

As much as I love Money it would have to be the least. I honestly have no idea. In my mind all of the choices are connected to eachother. I don't really see one without the other. But I guess they could exist without Money.

5. What's one quote (or passage, song lyric, etc.) that effectively describes you and your values? Explain. "Sometimes you wake up. Sometimes the fall kills you. And sometimes, when you fall, you fly." - Neil Gaiman.

I tell myself that nearly every day. Its such a stupid simple little quote but its gotten me through so much. I fall, a lot. Especially being an actor. I've had so much more luck than most people but it still hurts like hell when you fail 99% of the time. If I couldn't make something awesome out of each failure (and I don't always, sometimes they do kill me for a while) I would never survive in the field. I can be singular minded though. Which isn't a good thing.

Plus, Neil Gaiman makes me happy inside!

6. How do you manage your money? On that note, how important is money/financial security to you? Go into as much detail as you can. I'm not very good with money, but I'm getting better. When I lived on my own the first time I had the electricity turned off 3 times in a summer. Yeah I was that kid. I still sometimes spend money I don't have but I don't default or don't pay bills anymore. Its super tight but I'm getting so much better.

I want to be better. I need to put more money into my IRA, I need to have an actual savings. But I like pretty things and so its a constant battle.

7. Name (and elaborate on) some of your hobbies. What are your favorite things to do outside of school/the office? I love to listen to music. Its a whole art form that I just can't do. They are so talented and it makes me happy and jealous at the same time. I listen to everything. Country, Top 40, Classic Rock. I don't deal with silence very well.

I love horseback ridding. I don't get to do it much anymore. I worked with the horses when I was an undergrad and I loved every minute of it. I would ride a few times a week and it made me so happy. I worked with the mascot at school so it made me part of the school. I brushed him daily, I never got to ride him, but I rode the training horse regularly. I like being out there in the wind and just running.

8. Name three things you are afraid of. Explain. I'm afraid of the dark for the most part. As people say you are not afraid of the dark but what could be in it. That is the PERFECT explanation of my fear. I'm afraid the something/someone is there just waiting for me and will get me. Of course it doesn't have to be logical, they aren't all serial killers. Sometimes they are zombies, the weeping angels, sometimes they are serial killers honestly. I just don't like the dark, but I must have almost complete darkness to go to sleep. So that's a problem.

I'm afraid of Sharks. I know its next to impossible to be bitten by a shark in the ocean but they still scare the crap out of me. I don't swim in the ocean like I used to as a kid. I sit on boats, fish, stay in the surf but I don't swim anymore. I HATE IT, but I'm paralyzed with fear, I know my luck. I would be the one person in a million bitten by the shark.

I'm afraid to die before I accomplish what I want to. I'm not afraid of what comes after death, I just feel like I'd be cheated out of everything if I died before I got to live.

9. Name (and elaborate on) your top three BEST and top three WORST qualities (personality-related, not physical). Please answer as fully as you can, as this is an important question.

Good - Driven / Bad - Single-minded

I've always been crazy driven. I accomplish what I set out to do but the bad thing is I loose out on other things because I am so focused on what I want I miss other opportunities. I always put all my eggs in one basket and do everything I possibly can (and more) to make sure they don't break. The results can be AMAZING or CATASTROPHIC depending on the outcome. Sometimes what I have decided is the best way is not and I won't see that no matter what other people say. But then, I am where I am because I didn't give up. But where might I be if I had been more openminded when it came to my future? I'm open with everything else, I think, I judge the options and make a choice. But not in this aspect. I'm fairly analytical so I over think things. At LAMDA we got bored at lunch and put everyone into Harry Potter houses. I was one of two people in the entire program placed into Ravenclaw. But I was told of the "Luna Lovegood variety."

Good - Trusting / Bad - Naive

I tend to like people when I first meet them and trust anyone in authority. I'm very open-minded and helpful but people often take advantage of that. I'm a good person to talk to, I listen and I tend to believe in the good in people. But I've been hurt because of that. It took me a long time to understand that all Doctors don't always know what they're doing, not all police are honest and teachers don't always care about you. I'm aware of it, but I still fall into traps.

Good - Open-hearted / Bad - Emotional

I feel for people's pain. I want to help everyone and I often try. This sometimes makes me overly emotional. Many thing affect me. I try to fix anything and everything when I see something wrong. I hurt when my friends hurt, I'm angry when they're angry for the most part. I do argue with them and tell them that they're wrong but I get involved in other people's problems a lot.

A Song of Ice and Fire Related

1.Who are your favorite three characters in the series? Why? Jon Snow b/c his story is so separate from everyone else for SO LONG but at the same time the books wouldn't work without him. Sometimes I want to smack him over the head and tell him to get over it. But I love all the struggles he creates for himself. He wants to be good and powerful and I connect to that.

Sansa is my favorite character in the series, no question. My love affairs with the other two went in and out but I ALWAYS loved Sansa. I understand her. I love her. She has so many problems and has become so strong in her own way. I understand her fears, I get why she makes really bad choices. (hell I really want to be a Queen someday too) her chapters are by far my favorite ones to read in the books. I love her naivety.

Jamie is just a lot of fun. He fills my need for the snarky hot blonde man that every book needs plus he always does thing that surprise me. Do I need to say any more?

2.Who are your least favorite three characters in the series? Why? Ugh, I don't know. Davos gets on my nerves not as a character because he's had some great chapters but because I just don't find myself caring about him personally. But if I could light anyone on fire and watch them burn it would be Tywin Lannister. He's a dick and he makes me SUPER ANGRY ALL THE DAMN TIME. Just accept your freaking children as they are dude. You would be SO MUCH better off.

I forgot a third person Walder Frey. I find him selfish, self-centered and a complete jackass. He has no sense of honor (but I have to agree with the Hound sometimes, honor can be a weakness) I can understand that in war you kill your enemy but the Red Wedding was above and beyond evil. I can't even describe it. I could understand the price but on Dany and her unborn baby, because you don't leave you enemy alive to rise back up against you. But the falsity of the Red Wedding is what angered me. If he wanted to kill them he should have shot them down when they rode up to the castle.

3.#1 Favorite moment in all of ASOIAF so far? Why? It would be when they tell Tyrion that he is going to marry Sansa because that was a major OMG moment for me. Somethings I see coming but honestly that came out of freaking NOWHERE and I loved every second of it. They are so wrong yet so PERFECT for eachother I'm kinda in love with it.

4. In your dream-world, how would you like to see the series end, and why? I want Dany and Jon to team up and SAVE THE FREAKING WORLD. They are both (in my opinion) the last two Dragons (R+L=J {ftw}) and they are the Ice and Fire of the title. Plus just from a literary standpoint they have been so far from eachother for the series, they have to join up. Plus she's been having visions of him since the second book. So yeah.

(R+L=J {ftw}) -- agreed! [/random]

Okay, on with the sorting.

At first, I saw a little Lannister. However, despite you wanting financial freedom, you listed money as least important.

Your ideal home said Tully to me, but little else of your application did.

You best/ worst qualities could easily fit into Stark. However, those coupled with your fear of dying before you've accomplished what you want say Targaryen to me.

awww, I don't see why anyone can dislike Davos. ;) To each her own.

With your love of light and flowers, happiness and the way you describe your house makes me think Tyrell. They seem the most likely to have actors to me, and the most pageantry, best costumes. I see bits of Targaryen too, and trusting seems very Stark to me, and I'm sticking with Tyrell.

Your qualities pretty much put the feather in my Targaryen hat. I think you're a mash up of Rhaegar, Viserys, and Dany.

tyrell!

oops and i'm tyrell too

Targaryen with a very strong Tyrell side :)

Targaryen

I was wavering between that and Tyrell, but your description of what you'd do to people you don't like and your conceptualisation of your goods/bads as two sides of the same ~~coin~~ thing pushed me over.

i'd say Tyrell... your love for beauty and art is all over your application. it sealed it for me :)

Targaryen with a bit of Tyrell.

Your dislike of Davos struck me as weird. I always forget that its possible for people to love and hate completely different characters from me.

But then again, Davos wasn't really interesting until A Storm of Swords.

I don't suppose I could get you to add a third character to your least-liked list, could I? Nothing wrong with disliking characters for finding their narratives boring (I feel that way about Bran), but even if you can't single out anyone else other than Tywin, I feel like it might help to know more about why that is.

Anyway, as things stand, I think I'm going to go with Targaryen. The way you've structured your positives and negatives is evocative of that "coin flip" they're supposedly all subject to in their natures.

Oops! I added a third person! I can't believe I forgot.

If you're a Ravenclaw of the Luna Lovegood variety then I'd have to say Targaryen. Aemon-y!

...I'm also a Ravenclaw. :D

Love your icon!

I'm going with Tyrell as well.

Thanks! Kate is just so gorgeous, I DIED when she stepped out of the car at the wedding, it was totally worth HOURS waiting for her in Hyde Park.

Your icon is awesome too! That woman MAKES MY DAY.

Edited 2011-05-31 19:54 (UTC)

You got to see it in person!! AWESOME! *covets*

1. Your icon is amazing. Such a pretty dress!

2. Yay, someone else who love Sansa! And I also dislike Davos, so you're not alone there.

3. The Weeping Angels are a perfectly legit fear.

So, sorting. Tyrell or Targaryen? I associate both houses with a kind of theatrically. Your best/worst qualities are very much Targaryen, but your ideal house, liking pretty things, and your book answers push me toward the former--I think Sansa would make a good Tyrell, actually! And Margaery loves horseback riding. So, Tyrell

Yeah, Tyrell and Targaryen is what I'm seeing too... and I think a bit more Tyrell than the other.

And Neil Gaiman is awesome!

You strike me as Targaryen.

Targaryen. Love your quote, although I read at first that you're afraid of STarks, which... made for an interesting fear, ahaha.

Out of curiosity, did you have a lot of Slytherins in LAMDA? *just so knows to watch out for any in the future?* Ambition in that line of work would also seem potential, that's all.

HAHAHA we actually had a decent amount of Hufflepuffs. There definitely were some Slytherins, but lots of 'Puffs.

Welcome in, and nice icon. You know you've grown when you no longer swoon over Lord Morpheus in ways done when 20. I don't know what the picking order is with the London dramatic arts colleges (?) or whatever they are, but maybe (and pardon me, this not being a slight on LAMDA, where I know tons of well-known actors come from) more Slyths apply for RADA instead then. Welcome to the Ravenclaw Targaryens in any case now. I think we have quite a few in as it is.

Spying your profile, if I'm right, have another icon in turn and the declaration it's Hook before the Pan brat all the way. *

ontd_ozy secret world peace plan handshake* /usual profile snoop.

There's something about you that wants to lean towards Martell in my mind... and there's another part that says that even though there aren't any specific things that point towards Tully, there's an overall feeling of down-to-earth-ness that makes me want to claim you for my house. But, I definitely see the Tyrell side that everyone's talking about, and overall, I think there's a fiery abandon that fits more with the Targaryens.

I'm going to say Tyrell.

Like so many others, I see plenty of Tyrell and Targaryen, but I have to lean more toward the flowers in the end. You strike me a *bit* more like Loras and Margaery than Dany and Rhaegar. But only a bit!

Tyrell

Targaryen.

Targaryen! Your fears clinched it, and you certainly have Rhaegar's artistic side. Timeless glory is very Targaryen, isn't it? As is not fearing death. I don't know any other House that seems more to embrace 'death before dishonor' than they. Maybe Greyjoy, but that's in a different way.

Targaryen

Your Neil Gaiman quote and fears sealed the deal for me. Targaryen!

Targaryen. I was ready to say Lannister, but you aren't concerned with money and as others have mentioned, you remind me of Aemon. Glad to see your application :)

Edited 2011-06-02 04:57 (UTC)

Tagaryen!

I saw Tyrell and Targaryen here

I see the Tyrell votes? But in the end, I'm going to have to go Targaryen.

Man, I wish you could be a Lannister! If it weren't for disliking money so much I think you'd make a great lion. But glory/accomplishment over wealth is certainly valid, and in my mind (especially when set next to your best/worst qualities) that makes you a Targaryen.

Also, Neil Gaiman is AMAZING. Love that quote. XD

Hahaha thanks. I like me some money but when I had to choose from those I had to put money last. I kinda want ALL of them!

Gaiman is AWESOME. Love him.

I'm feeling the Targaryen here.

Also, <3 London.

I am on the Targaryen bandwagon!

Going to go Targaryen for you.

(Oh, man, I screwed up the html again! ;_;)

Edited 2011-06-02 19:22 (UTC)

It's funny, your good/bad traits would normally point you to Stark but I have to agree with the overall tone suggesting Targaryen. Also, I am super jealous of your profession. *sigh*

stark of the sansa variety.

Going back and forth between Tyrell and Targ, but your preferred ending and relationship with money make me go for Targaryen

Weeping angels are a legitimate fear. A very, very legitimate fear.

But yeah, I think Targaryen works well for you.

With one voter Stark and eight votes Tyrell, you are officially sorted into House Targaryen with twenty-five votes!
